Our Final Thoughts

Peter Churchouse: Financial Advisor Craig's Investment Partners

“The Paradigm experience challenged our thinking beyond what we thought and lead us to look outside the square.

This is the best programme I have ever experienced over my entire career. I have been to and seen a lot of programmes but this one stands out as being the best investment by far.”

Gretchen Williamson: FInancial Advisor Craig's Investment Partners

“At the end of the day we all want to grow our business – you want to know where you are going, and how you can get there. Rebecca gave us the tools to action that and more importantly she was working bedside us the whole way.’

Legal industry

Seala Misa: Solicitor with Wynard Wood

“The private mentoring programme gave me a clearer understanding of where I was going with my career and life. I am much more focussed and energised as a result. I was able to recognise the the tools I had were not working and I needed to recalibrate and re set my patterns of behaviour.

I gained new tools and inner strength to deal with this. We focussed a lot on tasks, priorities and more effective systems to manage my day to day workload as well and strategies for delegating. We developed a functional practical business development plan with a more modern approach for today’s lawyers and clients.

We mastered my expertise and developed the message and market for where this is best suited Overall an intensive and valuable programme. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to shift their practice forward.”

Public sector industry

Glenda Parata: Group Manager Defence Shared Services Group

Defence Logistic Command

“Rebecca has been working with some of the leadership team in the Shared Services division of Defence Force last year. She has worked with us at an individual manager level and team level delivering on the brief of developing leadership skills and working with their teams to increase customer service levels and divisional efficiencies.

We are looking forward to further developing these skills and others this year continuing work with the Paradigm Team.”

Mandy Carian: Executive PA New Zealand Symphony Orchestra

(6 month programme )

“I was introduced to Paradigm Shift through a work course and Rebecca’s presentation was the highlight of the day. I signed up for her Mentoring programme. Rebecca is simply brilliant – she is approachable inspiring practical and just a really really nice person.
The programme was practically based and gave me a vast range of tools and strategies to get me headed in the right direction in both my professional and personal life.
Return on Investment – one of the things that is difficult to committing to this programme is that the benefits are intangible. It’s hard to imagine what you will come away with.
However the investment was worth every cent. The 3 shifts for me overall were that I gained a whole lot more confidence to make the changes in order to grow more.
I still see Rebecca once a month in Wellington where we catch up for coffee – just love it.”

What 3 things would you say you have benefited from the most?Practical tools and strategies, helping to change my thought patterns and giving me the confidence I need to move forward in my life.

What value do you think Rebecca and could add to the Mentoring programme?Can’t think of anything!

Did you feel compromised with Paradigm not having any Administration experience?No

If you could sum up in 3 words your SHIFT what would that be ?Confidence, change and growth

Maria O'Neill: Executive PA EQC Wellington

“The personal mentoring programme was extremely worthwhile- it was based on personal experiences and the real person and therefore real results. The four main shifts for me are:

Got to see how I was thinking and how it was affecting me

Learning to say NO – I am fabulous and its ok to say that

Feel lighter – i no longer feel guilty

I am so much more present and open

Definitely 5/5 – the whole programme and structure combination of Skype and face to face sessions worked well. I am transformed and am recommending her to others who have seen the changes in me.”

Real estate industry

Robyn Ellson: Ray White Ponsonby

“I would go as far to say this programme is an out and out must for any professional seeking great success both personally and professionally. Life today is busy, and we are not necessarily equipped to manage these competing demands. Rebecca’s experienced perspective on these challenges is like a guiding light. Bringing Rebecca onto your team is an investment in you and your vision for how you want your life to work.”

The 3 main gains are :

Rebecca has given me an incredible insight into how to take my business to the next level. Not only that she has equipped me with the knowledge of my own self to ensure I can handle the load and become an inspiring leader.

Rebecca has raised the bar on what I felt was possible to achieve, and with that I have felt myself shift to the next level – both on a professional and personal level – as these two facets of our lives are very entwined.

I feel so lucky to have stumbled on Rebecca, she has been an incredible mentor to me and has helped me through some incredibly tough business decisions, at a time when I was managing a great deal. If you are looking for true changes in your business and not a bandaid, you need to meet Rebecca.

Business industry

Daniel Thurston: CEO at GiKoo

“My litmus test for her effectiveness was not that I admired what I saw but that affected individuals who were initially resistant to her strategies and methodologies universally became her admirers and advocates. Rebecca is a high calibre change agent.”

Lisa Lloyd Taylor: Epicurean Wines

“Rebecca brought a highly energised and focused approach to her project with us. Our business required an overarching strategy to focus the existing management and staff and create a positive environment. The support given to management from Rebecca to make some difficult decisions, to strategise moving forwards and implement change was invaluable. I would recommend Rebecca for any business serious about turing the chaos into a state of calm and control.”

Rebecca’s business acumen and experience being in a varied number of GM/ CEO roles in different industries brings diversity and a wealth of wisdom to any new GM and I would highly recommend her to anyone in that role.”

Richard Cheeseman: LUME Managing Director

“Rebecca offered a very different process with extraordinary value. It was a very personal approach and we got to understand Who we are and What we bring to the business – we were continually looking at things from a different perspective and we got very clear on needing structured measurements in place. Very Powerful questioning techniques. Just loved it!”

Rod Buchecker: Brand Strategy Expert

“Rebecca is a brilliant communicator who is able to cut through the stuff that doesn’t matter and identify what will SHIFT an individual or a business to greater success. She is skilled at motivating individuals and helping them see what they are really good at and what they can improve on. This is a gift to anyone who seeks to engage her.”

Seminars

Mel Clark: Chief Jellybean CandyBox

“Paradigm Shift’s brand workshop was inspirational. There was a range of businesses present at the workshop and I was impressed that Rebecca and Rod were able to repeatedly take each business in turn and show how the tools could be applied to each one. Their obvious enthusiasm to see others reach goals and overcome obstacles, and encourage people in breaking through to a new level made it a really valuable yet enjoyable experience. The tools, insight and guidance provided during the workshop will be invaluable and reusable for the future of my business. I was thrilled to come away with practical things I could use in the planning and implementation of plans as I grow and develop my brand and business.”

Jan Stein: Director Beyond Health

“The major thing for me was finding out what was stopping me moving forward in my business and dealing with it. The Paradigm team are great at getting to the root cause of what is not working for you and in your business. They give you the tools and platforms to move forward.”

Frances Hall: Executive PA Beca NZ

“Rebecca Morris facilitated an EA Summit I attended. I found her approach to be of great value to me. She was funny and down to earth and her message was easily understood. She covered issues that were very relevant to my role as a PA. Managing stress, improving resilience, developing the confidence to say ‘No” , how to recognize signs of burnout and dealing with change. When I had finished the summit I decided that her message would be one that would be of use to other admin staff at Beca and that is why I approached her to put together a course for an Administrators day for Beca.”

Other participant's feedback :

“Rebecca is really engaging and was just excellent – great day overall.”

“Very hands on with personal attention – a great facilitator – would recommend her to anyone.”

“Was excellent to explore the reasoning behind behaviours and where I can make the changes and improvements to my life personally and professionally. Extremely well worth it.”

Lucille Burton: Director Diamond Healing

“The biggest insight I got was that you sell a message and not a product. I got clear on what my message is and how I want to share this with others. Great day.”

Julia Drake: Director Eternal Youth

“I got to really look at my business and reflect on what you want to achieve and where you are today.
Rod and Rebecca help pinpoint where you are now and where you want to be and give you tools to achieve this.
I am excited to get going – well worth it.”

Peter & Gretchen : Full Length

Business New Zealand / Australia

Infoactiv needed to embark on a major sales and marketing initiative within the business, essentially flipping the current DNA of the business to achieve growth targets. Rebecca (PS) had the skills, relevant experience, energy and connection with team needed to drive the change. She worked on site in Melbourne and also when back in New Zealand and the difference was, she is hands-on and personally committed to the end goal, engaged in a way that is not the norm for consultants.
